2009-09-17tracing: switch function prints from %pf to %psSteven Rostedt
For direct function pointers (like what mcount provides) PowerPC64 requires the use of %ps, otherwise nothing is printed. This patch converts all prints of functions retrieved through mcount to use the %ps format from the %pf. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-11tracing: consolidate code between trace_output.c and trace_function_graph.cSteven Rostedt

2009-09-11tracing: add lock depth to entriesSteven Rostedt
This patch adds the lock depth of the big kernel lock to the generic entry header. This way we can see the depth of the lock and help in removing the BKL.

2009-09-11tracing: add latency format to function_graph tracerSteven Rostedt
While debugging something with the function_graph tracer, I found the need to see the preempt count of the traces. Unfortunately, since the function graph tracer has its own output formatting, it does not honor the latency-format option. This patch makes the function_graph tracer honor the latency-format option, but still keeps control of the output. But now we have the same details that the latency-format supplies. # tracer: function_graph # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / # |||| # CPU|||| DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | |||| | | | | | | 3) d..1 1.333 us | idle_cpu(); 3) d.h1 | tick_check_idle() { 3) d.h1 0.550 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast(); 3) d.h1 | tick_nohz_stop_idle() { 3) d.h1 | ktime_get() { 3) d.h1 | ktime_get_ts() { Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-04tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracerSteven Rostedt
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the wrong buffer. This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed in to the commit.

2009-07-28tracing: Fix invalid function_graph entryLai Jiangshan
When print_graph_entry() computes a function call entry event, it needs to also check the next entry to guess if it matches the return event of the current function entry. In order to look at this next event, it needs to consume the current entry before going ahead in the ring buffer. However, if the current event that gets consumed is the last one in the ring buffer head page, the ring_buffer may reuse the page for writers. The consumed entry will then become invalid because of possible racy overwriting. Me must then handle this entry by making a copy of it. The fix also applies on 2.6.30 Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org LKML-Reference: <4A6EEAEC.3050508@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

2009-06-18function-graph: add stack frame testSteven Rostedt
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

2009-06-02function-graph: enable the stack after initialization of other variablesSteven Rostedt
The function graph tracer checks if the task_struct has ret_stack defined to know if it is OK or not to use it. The initialization is done for all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization used by new tasks. If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then we can corrupt the return address of the functions. This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after the other variables have been initialized. [ Impact: prevent kernel panic on idle task when starting function graph ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-03-24function-graph: add option to calculate graph time or notSteven Rostedt
graph time is the time that a function is executing another function. Thus if function A calls B, if graph-time is set, then the time for A includes B. This is the default behavior. But if graph-time is off, then the time spent executing B is subtracted from A. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-03-19function-graph: show binary events as commentsSteven Rostedt
With the added TRACE_EVENT macro, the events no longer appear in the function graph tracer. This was because the function graph did not know how to display the entries. The graph tracer was only aware of its own entries and the printk entries. By using the event call back feature, the graph tracer can now display the events. # echo irq > /debug/tracing/set_event Which can show: 0) | handle_IRQ_event() { 0) | /* irq_handler_entry: irq=48 handler=eth0 */ 0) | e1000_intr() { 0) 0.926 us | __napi_schedule(); 0) 3.888 us | } 0) | /* irq_handler_exit: irq=48 return=handled */ 0) 0.655 us | runqueue_is_locked(); 0) | __wake_up() { 0) 0.831 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); The irq entry and exit events show up as comments.

2009-03-19function-graph: calculate function depth within function graph tracerSteven Rostedt
Currently, the function graph tracer depends on the trace_printk to record the depth. All the information is already there in the trace to calculate function depth, with the exception of having the printk be the first item. But as soon as a entry or exit is reached, then we know the depth. This patch changes the iter->private data from recording a per cpu last_pid, to a structure that holds both the last_pid and the current depth. This data is used to determine the function depth for the printks. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-19function-graph: consolidate prologues for outputSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up The prologue of the function graph entry, return and comments all start out pretty much the same. Each of these duplicate code and do so slightly differently.

2009-03-16tracing: protect reader of cmdline outputSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair. But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the wrong comm because it had no locking. This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache and not just send back a pointer to it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-12tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats stringsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic formats. So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will still be used. The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not. Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

2009-03-06tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of ↵Frederic Weisbecker
trace_bprintk() Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc...

2009-02-18tracing/core: use appropriate waiting on trace_pipeFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: api and pipe waiting change Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a 100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there are traces on the buffer. This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming events. This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader. This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer. If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for trace_wait queue is attached.

2009-02-09tracing/function-graph-tracer: handle the leaf functions from trace_pipeFrederic Weisbecker
When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets: function(); whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following: function() { } This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files. On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can check the next entry. There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while we don't consume it. This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing core to not consume the current entry after printing it. We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check the next one. Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

I guess no one needs the nanosec precision here, the main goal is to have an overview about the general timings of events, and to see the place when the trace switches from one cpu to another. ie: 274.874760 | 1) 0.676 us | _spin_unlock(); 274.874762 | 1) 0.609 us | native_load_sp0(); 274.874763 | 1) 0.602 us | native_load_tls(); 274.878739 | 0) 0.722 us | } 274.878740 | 0) 0.714 us | native_pmd_val(); 274.878741 | 0) 0.730 us | native_pmd_val(); Here there is a 4000 usecs difference when we switch the cpu.

Impact: cleanup, remove obsolete code Now that the ring buffer used by ftrace allows for variable length entries, we do not need the 'cont' feature of the buffer. This code makes other parts of ftrace more complex and by removing this it simplifies the ftrace code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-26tracing/function-graph-tracer: strip ending newlines on commentsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: tracer output improvement Ending newlines are appended automatically on comments by the function graph tracer because the newline needs to be placed after the "*/" comment characters. So if the user puts an ending newline, we want to strip it. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-12tracing/function-graph-tracer: Output arrows signal on hardirq call/returnFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: make more obvious the hardirq calls in the output When a hardirq is triggered inside the codeflow on output, we have now two arrows that indicate the entry and return of the hardirq. 0) | bit_waitqueue() { 0) 0.880 us | __phys_addr(); 0) 2.699 us | } 0) | __wake_up_bit() { 0) ==========> | smp_apic_timer_interrupt() { 0) 0.797 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 0) 0.715 us | exit_idle(); 0) | irq_enter() { 0) 0.722 us | idle_cpu(); 0) 5.519 us | } 0) | hrtimer_interrupt() { 0) | ktime_get() { 0) | ktime_get_ts() { 0) 0.805 us | getnstimeofday(); [...] 0) ! 108.528 us | } 0) | irq_exit() { 0) | do_softirq() { 0) | __do_softirq() { 0) 0.895 us | __local_bh_disable(); 0) | run_timer_softirq() { 0) 0.827 us | hrtimer_run_pending(); 0) 1.226 us | _spin_lock_irq(); 0) | _spin_unlock_irq() { 0) 6.550 us | } 0) 0.924 us | _local_bh_enable(); 0) + 12.129 us | } 0) + 13.911 us | } 0) 0.707 us | idle_cpu(); 0) + 17.009 us | } 0) ! 137.419 us | } 0) <========== | 0) 1.045 us | } 0) ! 148.908 us | } 0) ! 151.022 us | } 0) ! 153.022 us | } 0) 0.963 us | journal_mark_dirty(); 0) 0.925 us | __brelse(); Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-08tracing/function-graph-tracer: implement a print_headers functionFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: provide trace headers to explain a bit the output This patch implements the print_headers callback for the function graph tracer. These headers are output according to the current trace options.

2008-12-04tracing/function-graph-tracer: handle ftrace_printk entriesFrederic Weisbecker
Handle the TRACE_PRINT entries from the function grapg tracer and output them as a C comment just below the function that called it, as if it was a comment inside this function. Example with an ftrace_printk inside might_sleep() function: void __might_sleep(char *file, int line) { static unsigned long prev_jiffy; /* ratelimiting */ ftrace_printk("Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-)"); A chunk of a resulting trace: 0) | _reiserfs_free_block() { 0) | reiserfs_read_bitmap_block() { 0) | __bread() { 0) | __getblk() { 0) | __find_get_block() { 0) 0.698 us | mark_page_accessed(); 0) 2.267 us | } 0) | __might_sleep() { 0) | /* Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-) */ 0) 1.321 us | } 0) 5.872 us | } 0) 7.313 us | } 0) 8.718 us | } And this patch brings two minor fixes: - The newline after a switch-out task has disappeared - The "|" sign just before the cpu number on task-switch has been deleted. 0) 0.616 us | pick_next_task_rt(); 0) 1.457 us | _spin_trylock(); 0) 0.653 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) 0.728 us | _spin_trylock(); 0) 0.631 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) 0.729 us | native_load_sp0(); 0) 0.593 us | native_load_tls(); ------------------------------------------ 0) cat-2834 => migrati-3 ------------------------------------------ 0) | finish_task_switch() { 0) 0.841 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 0) 0.616 us | post_schedule_rt(); 0) 3.882 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-03tracing/function-graph-tracer: improve duration outputFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: better trace output of duration for long calls The old duration output didn't exceeded 9999.999 us to fit the column and the nanosecs were always 3 numbers. As Ingo suggested, it's better to have the whole microseconds elapsed time and shift the nanosecs precision if needed to fit the maximum 7 numbers. And usec need more number, the case should be rare and important enough to break a bit the column alignment to show it. So, depending of the duration value, we now have these patterns: u.nnn us uu.nnn us uuu.nnn us uuuu.nnn us uuuuu.nn us uuuuuu.n us uuuuuuuu..... us Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-03tracing/function-graph-tracer: display unified style cmdline and pidFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: extend function-graph output: let one know which thread called a function This patch implements a helper function to print the couple cmdline/pid. Its output is provided during task switching and on each row if the new "funcgraph-proc" defualt-off option is set through trace_options file. The output is center aligned and never exceeds 14 characters. The cmdline is truncated over 7 chars. But note that if the pid exceeds 6 characters, the column will overflow (but the situation is abnormal).

2008-11-28tracing/function-graph-tracer: adjustments of the trace informationsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: increase the visual qualities of the call-graph-tracer output This patch applies various trace output formatting changes: - CPU is now a decimal number, followed by a parenthesis. - Overhead is now on the second column (gives a good visibility) - Cost is now on the third column, can't exceed 9999.99 us. It is followed by a virtual line based on a "|" character. - Functions calls are now the last column on the right. This way, we haven't dynamic column (which flow is harder to follow) on its right. - CPU and Overhead have their own option flag. They are default-on but you can disable them easily: echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options echo nofuncgraph-overhead > trace_options TODO: _ Refactoring of the thread switch output. _ Give a default-off option to output the thread and its pid on each row. _ Provide headers _ .... Here is an example of the new trace style: 0) | mutex_unlock() { 0) 0.639 us | __mutex_unlock_slowpath(); 0) 1.607 us | } 0) | remove_wait_queue() { 0) 0.616 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 0.616 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) 2.779 us | } 0) 0.495 us | n_tty_set_room(); 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) | tty_ldisc_deref() { 0) 0.615 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 0.616 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) 2.793 us | } 0) | current_fs_time() { 0) 0.488 us | current_kernel_time(); 0) 0.495 us | timespec_trunc(); 0) 2.486 us | } 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) | sys_read() { 0) 0.796 us | fget_light(); 0) | vfs_read() { 0) | rw_verify_area() { 0) | security_file_permission() { 0) 0.488 us | cap_file_permission(); 0) 1.720 us | } 0) 3. 4 us | } 0) | tty_read() { 0) 0.488 us | tty_paranoia_check(); 0) | tty_ldisc_ref_wait() { 0) | tty_ldisc_try() { 0) 0.615 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 0.615 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) 5.436 us | } 0) 6.427 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
